Hideki Konno teases Mario Kart Wii U

Surprise, surprise – Nintendo are planning to bring Mario Kart to the Wii U. It doesn’t sound like the game has started development yet, but in the November issue of Nintendo Power that just arrived at my place today, Hideki Konno gave the first official tease that the game was on its way.

I can’t get into the specifics, but I do want to create a new and enjoyable Mario Kart that uses the unique functions of the Wii U. Anything beyond that I have to keep secret. Please bear with me for now!

The Wii U has great graphics, amazing online (from what we’ve heard), a Swiss Army Knife of controllers, plus full compatibility with all Wii controllers.
